In reality TV, bringing the drama used to mean making it big. But these days, it doesn't seem to pay to be the mean girl. B.A. Parker, co-host of NPR's Code Switch, joins Brittany Luse to explore the end of reality TV's villain era and the state of the influencer economy.
Then we dive into the psyche behind Academy Award-nominee Steven Yeun's latest character in Netflix's Beef. He and Brittany discuss the diabolical antics of protagonist Danny and the surprising result of all that on-screen tension with his co-star Ali Wong.
